Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

an hour later

Liu Yanyan opened her hazy eyes, raised her hand to rub her sore forehead, stretched her body, and then gently opened the bed curtain. "Yuzhu, Yuzhu..."

Yuzhu hurried over and saluted, "I pay my respects to the princess, and I will serve her."

Liu Yanyan raised her hand and waved gently, saying, "Get up! Pour me a glass of water. I'm very thirsty and my throat is hurting."

Yuzhu then hurriedly stood up, turned around, took a pot of warm water from the table, and poured it into a glass cup for the princess.

Liu Yanyan took the large glass of water handed to her by Yuzhu and drank it in one gulp. Only then did she feel less thirsty. She handed the glass cup to Yuzhu.

Yuzhu tactfully filled the glass cup and said, "Princess, please drink slowly so as not to choke. Why are you so thirsty?"

"Well, don't worry. I just forgot that I didn't eat anything this morning, so I just drank some water." He drank the water in small sips before putting down the glass cup.

When Yuzhu saw that the glass cup was not placed steadily, her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Fortunately, she caught it and it did not break.

Liu Yanyan raised her eyes to look at Yuzhu, who looked anxious. She couldn't help but chuckle, "Yuzhu, why are you so nervous? It's just a glass cup. Aren't there many in the mansion? There's no need to make a fuss. If it breaks, just get another one."

Yuzhu nervously put the glass cup away and patted her chest and said, "Princess, this one is the best. The others all have some problems. That's why I'm so nervous. If this one breaks, won't you be heartbroken?"

Liu Yanyan suddenly realized, "I should be more careful. If it breaks, it's gone. It's really painful. But Yuzhu cares about me." After being helped up by Yuzhu, Yuzhen took out a light blue dress. Yuzhu took it and put it on carefully.

Yuzhu: "Princess, you are so beautiful. No matter what clothes you wear, you are very beautiful, like a fairy."

Liu Yanyan "It's not as exaggerated as you say." She walked to the dressing table and nodded with satisfaction, "This dress is made exquisitely, and the layers look beautiful." She sat on the chair, looked at the bronze mirror and said, "Well, just choose a simple bun in the mansion today, no need to make those complicated ones, so as not to get too heavy and hurt your neck."

"Okay, Princess. I promise to make you beautiful." She carefully helped the princess to a simple bun and inserted a few pearl hairpins diagonally.

"It's fine like this. If it's too complicated, it will look messy." After saying that, she picked up a blue peony hairpin with a water drop tassel, gently put it on her head, and said with satisfaction, "It's perfect like this, it looks good."

Yuzhu praised repeatedly, "The princess's choice is still beautiful, it instantly becomes more lively."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, "Of course not. My Yuzhu is too modest. Yuzhu's cooking skills are among the best in the capital." After that, she touched her hungry stomach and said, "Yuzhu, serve the meal! I'm a little hungry."

Yuzhu said with some embarrassment, "Princess, the prince invites you to dine in the garden. There is no meal prepared in the main courtyard today. I will help you over there."

Liu Yanyan smiled helplessly, "Okay, go ahead! Don't keep the prince waiting for too long."

Garden Pavilion

Liu Yanyan was supported by Yuzhu and had just walked to the garden gate when she saw the prince and Concubine Li, who was wearing a pink dress, sitting in the pavilion and chatting happily. She wanted to turn around and leave.

Zhou Yanze saw her and greeted her from a distance, "Yanyan, come here, come here quickly."

Liu Yanyan forced a smile helplessly, walked towards the pavilion, came to Zhou Yanze and saluted, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Zhou Yanze's face was full of tenderness. He hurriedly supported her and stopped Yanyan from bowing. "Yanyan, no need to bow."

Liu Yanyan nodded gently, followed his force, and sat on the stone bench next to her. Her eyes drifted to Concubine Li who was sitting steadily next to her. "Sister Li, why are you here too? Yuzhu didn't tell me!"

Concubine Li then reluctantly stood up and saluted, "I pay my respects to the princess."

Liu Yanyan smiled faintly, "Sister Li, you are so polite. Please sit down! Why are you still standing? This is also considered a family dinner."

Zhou Yanze smiled and took Yanyan's hand and said, "Just now Concubine Li said she had choreographed a dance for us to enjoy!"

Liu Yanyan smiled faintly, "Really? Sister Li has this ability."

Zhou Yanze turned around, looked at Concubine Li coldly and said, "Go! Let the princess appreciate your dance. Didn't you say you practiced for a long time?"

When Concubine Li saw the prince defending the princess, she was so angry that the smile on her face froze a little. "It is my blessing to make the prince and the princess happy."

Liu Yanyan looked up at the angry Concubine Li, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Thank you, Sister Li, I want to see your dancing to open my eyes." Concubine Li was wearing this dress today. Was she planning to go to the Grand Princess's Mansion to perform a dance? It was really ridiculous. Even if she was just a concubine, she couldn't embarrass herself!

Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan tenderly and lingeringly, and urged Concubine Li, "Go quickly, Concubine! The princess is waiting to see you! What are you dawdling about? Don't spoil the princess's mood."

Concubine Li was mistaken for a dancer, and her face was twisted with anger. She bit her back teeth and said softly, "Yes, sir. I will get ready right away."

Liu Yanyan then said, "My Lord, why do you suddenly want to see the concubine dance?"

Zhou Yanze held Yanyan's hand and said gently, "I heard that Concubine Li made you unhappy. As an orphan, you can't punish her at will. Since she loves dance costumes so much and would rather wear them than lose face, let her be a dancer!"

Liu Yanyan looked at Concubine Li who was preparing and said, "Concubine Li is still a concubine after all! If this gets out, it will be bad."

Zhou Yanze looked back at Yanyan tenderly and said, "No one dares to tell others about what happened in the palace, so Yanyan, don't worry!"

Liu Yanyan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Yanze."

Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan, his eyes sparkling, and said, "Yanyan, please eat first. I just asked Butler Zhou to ask the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes for you. Take a look at this cold shredded chicken and this stir-fried shrimp. Try them and see if you like them."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, picked up the jade chopsticks, picked up a shrimp, tasted it, it was sweet and delicious, and nodded with satisfaction, "Yan Ze's choice is indeed delicious, Yan Ze should try it too."

Zhou Yanze saw the shrimp Yanyan picked up for him and smiled brightly, "Yanyan picked it up, she's so sweet."

When Liu Yanyan heard this, her ears turned red and she smiled and said, "No way."

Just at this moment, the sound of drums sounded, and Concubine Li, wearing a pink veil, came slowly, spinning among the flowers. Her dance was as smooth as flowing clouds and water, her movements were silky and magnificent, and Yanyan was intoxicated by the sight.

Liu Yanyan couldn't help but praise, "I didn't expect Concubine Li to have this ability! She dances really well, no wonder she likes the dance costumes so much."

Zhou Yanze glanced at Concubine Li, then looked away, saying aggrievedly, "Yanyan, Concubine Li is not as pretty as me! Don't look at her, look at me."
